Care Philosophy
As an internal medicine nurse practitioner, my care philosophy is centered on providing compassionate, integrated care that addresses the unique needs of the adult population while focusing on building a partnership with my patients and empowering my patients to achieve their optimal health. By building a strong, long-term therapeutic relationship with each patient, I strive to move beyond only treating illness reactively, and instead I strive to empower my patients to build and maintain a foundation of lifelong wellness.
Personal Statement
I am married, and we have two miniature dachshunds, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, and a 3-legged cat. We lived in Washington State for a few years, where we enjoyed activities including backpacking in the mountains and clam-digging at the ocean. In Wisconsin, we enjoy camping and glamping, hiking and backpacking and spending time with our families.

Dr. Theresa is a wonderful physician. Her calm quiet demeanor is relaxing and you know she is listening. Her typing skills are quite amazing ? and her knowledge of the human body displays her experience in medical care. I am grateful to have her looking after my health.

Time allotted might need to be increased depending on what the patient is being seen for. I believe a patient should be able to discuss several items with their item if necessary. That was not the case this day.

I received top notch service every step of the way (check-in process, MA rooming me, my NP visit, and check-out). My provider was thorough and answered all my questions. I need to give a special shout-out to Heather who helped set up some of my referral appointments.

Second appt with Theresa Cirone-Hornickel after a long-time and beloved PCP retired. Theresa is as amazing as recommended. Takes the time to get to know you, compassionate and empathetic, extremely knowledgeable and exemplary communication before, throughout, and after exams.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/10/2025
Theresa and her staff are excellent. I've been at Mayo for YEARS and switched over when my doctor retired and I am so glad I did. My negative is that I cannot get on mychart. I'm already on mychart for my adult son who cannot read or speak because of a recent medical issue so that is most likely what's causing the problem. I've tried making a new account with a different email address, nothing works. My frustration comes with thinking that this should not be that darn hard.

Requiring check in for a video visit 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment time seems unnecessary

As always, I appreciate my excellent care from check-in to check-out. Theresa Cirone-Hornickel PA was easy to talk to, thorough in her questioning, (even taking pictures of my shoulder which was my major concern. When she asked if I had any other issues, I mentioned I was having a toenail problem.) Theresa ordered an X-ray of my shoulder and wrote a prescription to treat my nails. I only waited a few minutes to have the x-ray. By the time I arrived home, the x-ray had been read. I plan to follow-up with the orthopedics department. Thanks to Theresa and all the staff involved.
